Recently Pedro (now 11 weeks) has started barking at objects (i.e a basket, and a childs toy). He bounces around growling and barking at it until eventually he is close enough and brave enough to go forward and investigate it. Is this a stage?

Ha Ha Ha ... I'm not sure, Sasha still does that and she's almost 8 months!

My girls do that and they are over a year old.
I think it's just the way they check out a new object. It's pretty funny to watch.

Corky does that too, it is halarious! He does it with the laundry basket and black garbage bags alot!

I think it's a game to them. Jazzy does this too, and she's almost a year old. She'll bark at anything in the house that is not normally there. Heck, she even barks at her kibble sometimes. No kidding - she's a nibbler, and she will take one piece of kibble at a time into the living room - bat it around with her feet, roll it with her nose, and sometimes bark at it before she finally eats it. :lol:

Yep Auggie does it too if something is out of place or weird. Every so often a big palm frond falls off the tree outside our condo at the top of our stairs and that really bugs him :lol: :lol: :lol:

Cooper does that, except he doesn't bark. He DOES jump back about 10 feet like the object said "boo" or something to him though. :lol:

Mylo growls at his toys while he is playing with them.

Cooper NEVER barks.. unless he wants to go outside and no one (meaning ME) is paying attention.

good to know that its not abnormal behavior! Pedro just started barking a little bit now at 11 weeks... so long to the quiet days
